CHAPTER XIu-CoNTINUED.
He paused to see the effects of his
remarks upon the kind-hearted girl.
Helen was silent. Her face was no
paler than before, and there were no
visible evidences of an increase in her
emotions.
Feeling for you, as ] do, Helen, l
think it my duty to advise you to make
a clean breast of the whole thing. Own
up to it like woman, and throw your
self on the mercy of the court"
He paused, because the white face OF
the fair prisoner was turned upon him
and her eyes were blazing with strange
light. Her look was one of inquiry. at
least so he determined to make himself
understood.
II mean, Helen, that it is better for
you, when arraigned, to plead guilty,
admit taking the bracelet, and think
we can get you off easily"
For moment the white face was up
turned to his, and then the sweet, sad
voice said:
Would you have me admit lie?''
'.Oh, no, no, nor said the sheriff,
"but you know''-and he scratched his
head, "but you see every body knows
it, you know, and every body will know
it. 1t makes no difference what you
say. they viii believe tit
believe whatp" said Helen, her eyes
having light very unnatural. - can
not help what people say of me. | am
not the first girl who has been ruined
by the thoughtless or intentional SLAM
ders of people who have some claims to
goodness; but l am innocent in the
sight of Heaven. l know the crime is
felony. 1t is what the lawyers call
grand larceny and l will be sent to
the penitentiary, but would not admit
lie to save myself from all this degra-
dation."
MIR. Belcher now discovered that he
had no ordinary person to deal with.
She was either innocent or the most
braZen criminal he had ever met
Never had he known one actually guilty
to assume her manner and tone. The
sheriff thought: '.Of course, she is
guilty. Judge Arnold's family stand
too high in social circles to have made
false report on the girl, and the Judge
is too shrewd to be mistaken. Of
course she is guilty. Judge Arnold

The Chicago Tribune evidently does
not believe that Mr.. Lamont is one
who would be likely to give away Il
state secret: The Tribune says:
alt is Of no use for anybody to inter
rogate Dan LAMONT for the purpose of
ascertaining what may be the Presi-
dents intentions in regard to 1888.

OLD AGE.
How Mans Lease of Life may be
Len1thened.

Heightened.
The possibility of prolonging life has
commanded the serious attention of emf
nent scientists, and the discovery OF
some compound or elixir capable of pre-
venting or suspending physical decay, has
been, more than once, confidently pre-
dicted. The practical thing to consider
is, however, the prolongation Of life BY
proper care of the health, one of the
best means of maintaining which is the
occasional use of Ayers Pills. S. C.
Bradburn, Worthington, Mass, SAYS
ayers Pills are
THE BEST
remedy for sick headache, arising from
an impure state of the stomach, and are
the mildest and best purgative in the
world. They were first recommended to
me, by my mother, thirty years ago.
Mrs. j. G. Smith, Campbelltown, Ga,
says: Il have been cured of Rheumatism,
and am now enjoying good health, through
the use Of Ayers Pills. / am nearly
seventy years of age" Mark johnson,
Monterey, Mexico, says: 81 have used
Ayers Pills for the past thirty years, and
am satisfied that should not now be alive
had it not been for these Pills. BY using
them l have been enabled to avoid the
bilious diseases peculiar to this climate"
j. '. Thompson, Mount Cross, Va, says {:
Ayers Pills gave me quick and
HAPPY RELIEF
from bilious and sick headaches. have
now used them for two years, with in
creasing satisfaction" NJ. V. Watson,
l52 State ST., Chicago, Ill.,, says: "One
year ago l WAS induced to try Ayers
Pills as a remedy for Indigestion, Con-
s;ipation, and Headache, from which T
Ind been a great sufferer. I found the
action of these Pills easy, and obtained
prompt relief. In continuing their use, a
single Pill, taken after dinner, has been
all the medicine I have required. Ayers
Pills have benefited me more than all the
medicines ever before tried" D. T. Sum-
mcrs, +. NJ, Wayside, HANS, SAYS: "My
wife suffered, for several years, with Cos.
tiveness and Sick Headache. She was
completely cured by using Ayers Pills.

can have no deep game to play in this
matter" The girl was poor and friend
less, and he had expressed himself as
regretting that it had occurred He
looked at Helen. She met his eyes with
an unwavering gaze. Her manner
said: II have done nothing to merit
this, and can not be made to bow my
head in shame. You may punish me if
you will. but you can not break my
spirit"
''She is certainly case" thought
the sheriff, turning his face toward the
coach window. ''Oh, l do wish she
would plead guilty; she's foolish if she
don't"
The last was muttered loud enough
for Helen to hear. She quickly re-
sponded:
1T may be foolish to plead not
1t is better to be right than to be wise"
The sheriff was silenced. The village
was soon reached, and the rockaway
drove up to the Office Of the magis-
uate.
Squire Buffers had his Office in an old
frame building on the ground floor, not
many rods removed from the post
Office, which was on the corner Of the
square. The justice Of the peace was =
